🏀 The Embiid-less Sixers wrapped up their road trip with another loss. NBCSPhilly
The team fell behind by 11 points in the first quarter, and its guard trio of Maxey, De'Anthony Melton and Shake Milton combined to begin 1 for 11 from the floor. Whatever Rivers did at center, it was obvious the Sixers needed much more perimeter production to earn a shorthanded win. While Maxey ultimately provided that, Melton finished 3 for 12 from the field and Milton was 0 for 7.
Maxey’s second quarter was reminiscent of his 39-point performance as a rookie for the seven-man Sixers against Denver. Reed also showed how he’s developed the tools he flashed onEnergy and hustle have always been foundational for Reed, but he displayed offensive skills Monday, too. While Reed avoided anything wild, he justifiably trusted himself at times. He took a baseline jumper, went coast to coast for an and-one layup, and scored inside with his left hand. Everything went in.
Undermanned teams like the Sixers can rarely afford that serious of a rough patch. Sure enough, the game seemed over when Rivers turned to deep bench players such as Jaden Springer, Montrezl Harrell and Furkan Korkmaz in the middle of the fourth quarter.
